Easy Money

[Marty]

I was looking at the Big Bass Challenge on 6 and 7 June! The way I was looking at it – I have 6 chances (weigh-ins) to take one of the 7 places to win per weigh-in. That is 42 chances to win between $50 to $500 and that is for day one. If I do both days we are talking 82 chances all for $150 bucks to fish it. If I get lucky I can win two or three of these places.

Plus I will have a chance to win a truck if I have the big fish for one of the weigh-ins (that is 12 chances).

Do I have it right? Or did I miss count? It can’t be this easy?

Plus the week before I will be fishing the Stren and should be on them!

Only problem I see is if you are fishing with a partner. What is he supposed to do while you are weighing your fish. Seems like it is a better tournament for a single fisherman rather than 2 in a boat. Sounds fun though.

Marty,
you got that right.
several guys last year cashed 2 or more checks, making for a great payday.

Problem I had last year was I wanted to throw a spook or wake bait, and I could only throw Berkley baits. The Hollow Swimbait did well last year, but Im not a huge fan of Berkley Baits. Lots of fun though and great chance to win some money

How do I sign up?

[Marty]

I looked at the rules and did not see anything against it. My partner and I talked about it and we are going to split what we make. If one of us gets the big fish and a chance to win the truck that one keeps the truck – beside he has more luck that I do!

[Gumpa]

Same agreement between my son-n law and I Marty. We swore we were not going to miss this one. The payouts are awsome!!

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!

Just found it Im in!

There are some great reasons to share the boat with someone.

There are some strategies with this event. I'm looking forward to it and wish I would of done it last year.

Looks like you covered most of it Marty. There is also the drawings where you put your info in a Berkley bag for prizes, plus the first 150 anglers signed up are in for another drawing for some stuff.

Berkley has a number of different baits that cover most of it. I need to pick the right one(s) .

I was looking at the different types of bait that Berkley offers in the BPS catalog.

They have a lot of stuff in these little bottles – does any one use that stuff? Seen an 8in worm that looks good may use that one. Do they have a top water bait? Maybe a frogs!

I'm one of the first 150 to sign up! Now what do i get?

Marty,

Stay off my water......thought I'd tell ya before Mikey, Daniel, and the all the LL hit squad's.

For what I heard, you have a choice between the Stockton Port or the Sacramento Channel.

Man do they even make a top water bait?? I guess Im leaving the big sticks at home.

[Marty]

Thanks Phil

[AnglersPress]

Yes they do make topwater baits!

They make the Frenzy "Popper", (works like a Rico/PopR) as well as a floating frog.

Visit the Berkley website (www.berkley-fishing.com) for details and pictures of the bait.
